That is good to hear. I have 25 swordtail that are 1 inch big and are ready to be sold. I also have 37 other fry that are a bit to small to be sold. But I have no idea who I am going to sell it to. My lfs does not take them because they have so many.

You could always find someone who needs live feeders or has an eel and sell it to them.

or you can breed them again and when the store has room have them take a whole ton.

Well I am selling the fishes to people who are keeping them alive. I dont like feeding guppies or swordtail fry to other fish. Also I will only sell it to people who I know will take good care of them.

I have some day old swordtail fry. How old do they have to sell them? I'm a first timer and I really have no idea what to do.

 

[magafish18]

my lfs takes them at one month

I'm talking a Petco. Their doing fine.

It's best to ask your individual store, they vary. One of my LFSs won't take them until they're full grown, another will take them at 3 months, or when they're sexable, another doesn't especially care. So it's best to ask.
